Just finished and this show really grew on me. As someone who stays up really late herself, I wish I had someone like Danny to talk to each night. At first, I found the leading lady, Lisa, to be quite annoying and unlikable.

However, as the season progressed, I really started to understand and appreciate this character. She is flawed. Yeah, she doesn't always make the right decisions, and she's irresponsible, but she tries to be honest, and really cares about those around her.

I liked Danny right off the bat. He's funny, smart, empathetic, and caring. The last episode was really well done. These characters are well written and together, they make great chemistry.

I love the opening theme song, I love the scenery of England, I love their British accents, I even love the weird cat guy! Lol This show is really funny and cute. So glad I gave it a chance and stuck with it. I'm honestly not expecting a Season 2 AT ALL, but it would be nice if there was one. Until then, I'll be rewatching all of the episodes.

I randomly came across this on Apple TV and after a quick trailer sneak peak I decided to give it a go. By episode 2 I was smitten. The main characters are absolutely adorable, the story isn't predictable in any way even though you kind of know what the finish line is, or at least hope it is. It would be pointless to give any spoilers. It's an easy watch comedy series that's light and cute and everything you would need to just sit back and enjoy it. Craig Roberts and Antonia Thomas give such amazing chemistry that the conversation between them is sufficient in every way to keep you engaged and wanting more. Loved it. Want more.

It tries too hard to be quirky but instead you realize the two main characters are completely reprehensible and narcissistic. There is only one episode that shines but even that was ruined by one scene that was supposed to be funny but came off as mean and even offensive (the finger). Horrible show and I regret watching all the episodes. What a wasted premise. I really thought it would get better but it progressively got worse. The last episode made me hate the female lead even more - she joined a sleep study but not only kept using her iPhone but bothered everyone else in the clinic. There is only one likable character (the helpful gay neighbor) and he's treated as nothing more than a plot device. Still Up is a complete misfire and stands out as one of the worst shows on Apple TV (and that's saying a lot).

The title says it all!

I think a bunch of "Yelp Reviewer"-types, snobs on their high horse, expect an absolute cinematic masterpiece with gripping plots acted out by Daniel Day Lewis and Meryl Streep and have consequentially tanked this unique diamond-in-the-rough show's rating. If it weren't for the 1-2/10's I'd probably rate it a 7/10.

If you want an easy-to-watch, lighthearted show then this is a great one! It's no Twin Peaks, Jack Ryan nor Joe Pickett (not E P I C). But consider this...it's primarily a show about 2 seemingly different individuals FaceTiming each other in the dead of the night - this is where a majority of the show takes place! That's not a lot to work with.

These 2 characters befriend one another merely out of their shared experience, their struggles with insomnia. Despite their differing demeanors, they have a a tight bond and a surprisingly great dynamic. It's not the most exciting thing, but it's a pleasant, soothing show with a premise moved by silly, trivial happenings in their lives that many would consider forgettable, casual yet relatable events. I appreciate that!

If you're looking for something more compelling then this is not for you. I personally look forward to a season 2. My hope is that they really expand on the background characters - I quite enjoyed Danny's eccentric neighbors! It'd be great if a few more characters are brought into the mix (perhaps more grounded ones), as the plot slips into the real world (based on the ending).

I love this series and even put it in my calendar each week to watch. It is endearing and fun to watch. The characters are believable and of course it is fun to see scenes of England. There needs to be more meat and character development though. Who are these characters and why do they act the way they do? Why should we fall in love with these characters? Why should we care about them? This series is great, but it could be so much more.

The real problem I have is only 8 episodes for an entire season. Seriously? Not that long ago there were 20-25 episodes for 1 season of a series. People want more episodes of their shows and they feel cheated that they are paying all this money for all these apps. I thought it was totally ridiculous to go to 10 episodes and you knocked it down to 8. What is it going to be soon, 5 episodes?
